Reminiscences of Alexander Berry May 1838: ‘Recollections of the Aborigines by Alexander Berry 1838’ {AONSW, Supreme Court Papers, Cod 294, Part B, pp.557-608} The following reminiscences by Alexander Berry were initially recorded in May 1838, and later updated for publication in 1871 (refer also under that date). Alexander Berry was a prominent Sydney merchant who had established a settlement at Coolangatta, on the Shoalhaven River, in 1822. He eventually claimed over 10000 acres of land in the area, and his fam ily held the property until the turn of the century. Berry was relatively accommodating to the local Aborigines in everything but granting them land, and did not chase them away by force of gun as was so common in other areas of Australia. These reminiscences, combined with the accurate blanket issue / census compiled during the 1830s by both Alexander and David Berry, give a rare glimpse into the post-contact Aboriginal society at Shoalhaven.
